CELTA vs TESOL

[sweetie]

Hi,
My this question is for those teacher's who know the difference between accradited qualification. I just want to know what difference is there between CELTA and TESOL?
If I am interested in teaching in Middle East or in UK, Which qualification will be more appropriate?

Thanks

TESOL is not an actual accredited qualification- there are many courses on offer using the term, so you'd have to check the individual course's accreditation, and please do this carefully as there is a lot of self-accreditation going on. CELTA is recognised pretty much everywhere.
